Ukraine Row: Cong. Priyanka Gandhi Shares A Video Of Indian Student

The student said, "Please, please help us. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!"


New Delhi: Ahead of the Russia-Ukrainian war, thousands of Indian students stranded in Ukraine try to return home using land routes out of the country. A young woman's video has been widely shared, including by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. "Please, Jai Hind, Jai Bharat, please help us," the student said.

 

Taking notes from the current situation of Ukraine, Russian forces continued their offensive attacks on the country. Several Indian students are being taken to Ukraine's border with Romania, Hungary and Poland by buses, from where they are being flown home by Air India flights.

 

In a viral video, Garima Mishra, who says she is from Uttar Pradesh capital Lucknow, panicked as she claimed no one was responding to her calls for help. "We are surrounded from all eyes...no one is helping and I don't know if we will get any help," she said.

 

"Where we are staying, people come, they create a disturbance and try to come in, we can't understand what is happening," she said through a video.

 

Bits and scraps of information floating around seem to have compounded their desperation as they wait.

 

"We were told that Russian soldiers stopped some of our friends who had gone by bus to the border. They fired at the students and just picked up the girls. We don't know what happened to the boys," said Garima.

 

Broken Garima, was filled with tears: "We used to see this in movies.

 

We thought we would be saved...but now it doesn't seem like it...Please send someone by air to help us. Send the Indian army, otherwise, we don't think we will be able to go from here...We are not safe at this place."

 

With folded hands, she pleads: "Please, please help us. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Whoever is watching, please share this video."
